Some players have reported crashes or sudden character death on docking. We'll release a patch for this very soon, but for now, here's how to avoid it: give your character a name which doesn't contain any spaces or punctuation. So 'Flyte' rather than 'Sebastian Flyte'. And certainly not so doubly inauspicious a name as 'Frederick Tanah-Chook'.

Double-barrelled names can accidentally discharge during docking; passengers are advised to leave their names unloaded while travelling.

Sir Frederick, the Libertarian Esotericist. Lord Hubris, the Bloody Baron.
Juniper Brown, the Ill-Fated Orphan. Esther Ellis-Hall, the Fashionable Fabian.

We've confirmed that this is the cause both of
- the 'Your Past' storylet locks the game on docking
- the 'Shipwrecked / Lost With All Hands' sudden death on docking effect
If you use only the twenty-six letters of the ISO Latin alphabet, all will be well until the next patch. After which, you can go nuts.

Once again, my usage of short, snappy character names such as "heck", "aaa" and "zalor" has saved me from defeat. (The i in zailor is missing because I have a bad keyboard. if only i had an ipatch)

Oh! So that's why I never saw those bugs!

Aha! I never noticed those bugs until I've died and made a character Klear II.
